Artem Laguta will run him close with a few more seasons.

Thanks, I've been struggling to navigate the new Svemo site (admittedly haven't tried often or hard). Good to know the old one is available on old.svemo.se

If the team consists of Harris, Garrity & Shanes, they'll need a few gaters.

I guess HGould is hinting at Chris Harris?

I like this: "The Denmark septet will be led by team manager Hans Nielsen, who will be bringing at least three riders in his side that don’t regularly race in Britain. The full line-up is expected to be confirmed in the coming days." Whetting the appetites with the lure of Jepsen-Jensen, Michelsen & Madsen but more likely 3 riders who are of a standard that means they can't hold down a spot in the Championship.

I am aware, hence the smiley faces.

Indeed, confirmed by the Brummies website. A little surprised by that would have thought of the heat leader trio that ended the year Ellis & Aarnio would have been more certain to return.

Wolves

The Brummies were closing in on a competitive team towards the end of the season that could at least hold its own at home, until the Shanes injury then it all went sideways. His scores from reserve were impossible to replace.

My crude maths gets me to 33. I can have Doyle!

I don't have a team & would have to look at averages. Who is on a "bargain". Would like to see Drew Kemp given a chance. 2? Considering his playoff exploits Musielak on 6.2ish cannot be ignored. Becker has been the most entertaining rider I've seen on TV this year, so him. Only going to go in one direction from 5.3 Lambert on 7.8, Wright on 6.7, Nicholls on 5.3. What do I have left?

Good racing at Blunsdon? Hasn't happened at any televised meeting for 15 years at least. That Ipswich team will struggle to get to 30.

Perhaps after seeing his 2019 playoff form Wolves should recall Tobias Musielak, wait....

Ipswich were even more pants than I expected. Congratulations to Swindon on the 2019 title, I won't be watching Thursday.

Interesting, we have an identical top 9 & bottom 6.

Zmarzlik, Madsen, Sayfutdinov, Woffinden, Janowski. Doyle, Lindgren, Vaculík, Iversen, Laguta. Lindbäck, Dudek, Hancock, Žagar, Fricke.

The Speedway World Cup semi final from Västervik a few years ago had some brilliant racing but generally prefer racing at Målilla to Hallstavik out of the two recent Swedish GP venues. Both are better than Vetlanda which is the worst Swedish track. Admittedly only ever watched on TV, the only live Speedway I've seen in Sweden was the world final at Ullevi in 1991.

Yes, the league match towards the end of August. Had been hoping I'd be able to get a fair few visits to Owlerton this year with the Tigers switching to Sunday but alas only made it there once. Had seen Glasgow win at a canter against (a fairly weak) Birmingham team previously so was expecting fireworks, alas it was more of a whimper. If after the first leg the Playoff final is finely balanced hope to make it to Leicester on Saturday.

What did Josh Bates do? I thought he'd spent most of the season injured. I enjoyed my 4 visits to Perry Barr, first time I have been for what must be getting close to ten years. Was very disappointed with Glasgow on my only visit to Owlerton.

Ekstraliga fixtures are usually around 10th December. How likely is a Russian Togliatti GP in 2020?

Before Warsaw? No qualifying rounds in Scandinavia then.

I thought someone had said SoN finals at NSS Manchester at the end of May? Can someone confirm the likelihood of this?

Smektala for Drabik doesn't make much difference, Przedpelski for Janowski might mean the Rest of the World can keep it to 14 rather than 20.

I hope the Panthers have a more competitive team next year for the sake of their fans and the league. Replacing Cook with Summers was never going to work out well.

Masters I think, it was recorded so I whizzed through most of it. Most races were over after the second bend, so whizzed through almost all of those too. Heats 7, 9 & 11 were the only ones watching.
